Ten pages, one for each family of letters that are written the same way, so the strokes children learn on one letter carry over to the next. The capitals come first: straight-line letters like L, F and E, slanted letters, stick-and-slant letters, curvy letters and stick-and-curve letters. Then the small letters: the ones that start like c, the ones that go down and around, stick letters, slanted letters and the curvy ones. Each page shows its family in ink with numbered start dots, then gives every letter a handwriting line with an example, letters to trace and room to write.
Teach one family a week. Model the first letter on lined chart paper, saying each stroke out loud, then show how the next letter starts the same way: c, then a, then d. Children trace in the air and on the table before they write on the page. Come back to the family page as a warm-up before writing time.
Work through one page at a time. Ask your child where each letter starts and which way the first stroke goes, then let them trace and write it. Praise starting in the right place more than neat lines.
Handwriting pages with the letters grouped by how they are written: straight lines, slants, curves and more, capitals first, then small letters. Children see each family with its start dots, then trace and write every letter on handwriting lines.
